HE  question  is  so  frequently  asked, 
“ What  can  you  suggest  for  a 
present?”  that  Messrs.  Tiffany 
& Co.  have  prepared  the  subjoined 
lists  of  some  of  the  articles  appropriate  for 
such  a purpose,  to  assist  persons  in  making 
selections. 


The  constant  addition  of  novelties,  of 
course,  renders  any  list  in  a measure  in- 
complete ; and  in  order  that  the  facilities 
and  extent  of  the  different  departments  may 
be  better  understood,  brief  mention  of  each 
is  herein  made. 

More  particular  descriptions  will  be  fur- 
nished on  request;  or  to  persons  known  to 
the  house  or  naming  satisfactory  references, 
a carefully  selected  assortment  of  articles 
will  be  sent  for  inspection  on  receiving  ad- 
vice as  to  the  requirements  and  price. 


JEWELRY. 


ESSRS.  TIFFANY  & CO.’S  stock 
of  Jewelry,  besides  being  the 
largest  in  this  country,  possesses 
many  other  attractions. 

It  exhibits  the  latest  novelties  of  London 
and  Paris,  simultaneously  with  their  appear- 
ance in  the  shops  of  those  cities,  and  usually 
contains  specimens  from  Denmark,  Russia, 
Japan,  India,  Spain,  and  other  countries  less 
frequently  drawn  upon,  besides  the  unique 
productions  of  their  own  workshops,  which 
are  not  to  be  found  elsewhere. 

A complete  assortment  of  goods  of  all  the 
best  American  manufacturers  may  always 
be  found  in  their  cases,  including  a full  line 
of  medium-priced  articles. 

Persons  wishing  to  have  any  idea  symbol- 
ized in  a piece  of  jewelry  will  do  well  to 
consult  with  Messrs.  Tiffany  & Co.,  as  their 
designers  are  trained,  and  their  shops  organ- 
ized, with  reference  to  such  special  work. 


SILVERWARE. 


OR  the  current  season  Messrs.  Tif- 
fany & Co.  have  a larger  and  more 
comprehensive  stock  of  sterling 
Silverware  than  they  have  ever 
before  shown. 

During  the  favorable  conditions  of  the  last 
summer,  many  new  and  attractive  goods 
were  made  expressly  for  this  season’s  retail 
trade,  including  silverware  for  household  use, 
and  artistic  articles  of  peculiar  interest. 

As  these  goods  were  produced  at  the  mini- 
mum cost,  the  prices  are  lower  than  similar 
goods  have  ever  before  been  offered. 

Tiffany  & Co.  will  send  on  request  esti- 
mates and  designs  for  special  articles,  or 
advice  to  committees  having  charge  of  pre- 
sentations. 

They  are  also  prepared  to  work  special 
silver  into  articles  of  use  or  ornament,  and 


4 


persons  wishing  to  have  heirlooms,  or  silver 
from  mines  in  which  they  are  interested, 
wrought  into  forms,  may  be  certain  of  receiv- 
ing their  own  metal.

WATCHES. 


HE  Standard  Tiffany  Watches  are 
constructed  upon  the  latest  sci- 
entific principles,  combining  sim- 
plicity, strength,  durability,  and 


time-keeping  qualities. 


The  simplicity  of  construction  renders 
them  less  liable  to  get  out  of  order  than 
more  complicated  watches,  and  reduces  the 
cost  to  the  minimum  at  which  watches  of 
the  same  grade  can  be  produced. 


Each  watch  is  adjusted  to  temperature  and 
position,  stamped  with  the  name  of  the 
house,  and  fully  guaranteed. 

Messrs.  Tiffany  & Co.  have  a full  line  of 
Ladies’  Watches  in  plain  gold,  carved,  en- 
ameled, inlaid,  jeweled,  and  other  cases,  and 
complicated  watches  as  follows  : 


Chronographs,  marking  fifth  of  a second. 
Chronographs,  with  split  second.

Co.,  of  Geneva,  Switzerland.

DIAMONDS  AND  OTHER  PRECIOUS 
STONES,  AND  DIAMOND  AND  GEM 
JEWELRY. 

N this  department  Messrs.  Tiffany 
& Co.  have  long  held  the  leading 
position  in  this  country. 

Their  extensive  connections 
abroad  enable  them  to  obtain  the  most  cor- 
rect knowledge  of  changes  in  the  various 
markets,  and  their  system  of  purchasing  for 
cash  secures  the  greatest  advantages  as  to 
prices.  Their  stock  is  the  largest  to  be  seen 
in  any  one  establishment,  and  comprises 
carefully  selected  Solitaire  and  Matched  Dia- 
monds, Pearls,  Rubies,  Sapphires,  Emeralds, 
and  all  the  jewels  less  generally  known. 
The  greatest  care  is  exercised  in  the  setting 
of  their  gems,  and  the  designers  and  model- 
ers engaged  in  connection  with  the  jewelry 
workshops  are  qualified  to  produce  novel  de- 
signs for  special  objects,  which  shall  not  be 
seen  elsewhere. 


8 


As  all  the  diamond  setting  is  done  on 
their  own  premises,  under  the  supervision 
of  a member  of  the  house,  absolute  security 
is  insured  for  jewels  intrusted  to  them  for 
re-setting.

PLATED-WARE. 


IFFANY  & CO.'S  Hard  Metal 
Plated-ware  is  silver-soldered  in 
every  joint,  and  recognized  as 
the  most  economical  ware  made. 

Unlike  the  ordinary  plated-ware,  it  pos- 
sesses all  the  qualities  of  sterling  silver,  ex- 
cept intrinsic  value,  and  is  practically  inde- 
structible by  family,  hotel,  club,  or  restau- 
rant use. 

It  is  in  use  at  “The  Baldwin,”  the  new 
hotel  in  San  Francisco,  Delmonico’s,  the 
Union  Club,  the  Brunswick,  and  many  other 
public  houses  and  private  families.  The  ar- 
ticles are  all  made  from  special  designs,  pos- 
sessing a distinctive  style.

ESSRS.  TIFFANY  & CO.  devote 
their  entire  second  floor  to  the 
display  of  a stock  of  Clocks,  Man- 
tel Sets  and  Artistic  Bronzes, 
which  includes  all  the  best  productions  of 
art-workers  in  bronze,  and  is  constantly  in- 
creased by  the  accession  of  new  pieces  as 
soon  as  published. 

This  floor  has  more  the  appearance  of  an 
art  museum  than  a salesroom  ; besides  the 
gems  of  metal  sculpture  from  France,  Rus- 
sia, Italy,  and  Germany,  it  contains  a great 
variety  of  decorative  articles  of  polished  brass, 
which  are  made  in  their  own  shops.  Exam- 
ples of  Cloisonne,  Champleve,  Limoges,  and 
other  enamels,  Repoussd  copper  and  steel 
work,  fac-similes  of  historical  arms  and  armor, 
and  other  articles  of  vertu,  combine  to  form 
the  most  interesting  and  varied  collection 
ever  offered  for  sale.

ESSRS.  TIFFANY  & CO.  dis- 
play upon  their  third  floor  an  ex- 
tensive collection  of  artistic  Pot- 
tery. Every  artist  of  distinction 
or  merit,  and  every  furnace  of  note  is  repre 
sented  by  choice  selections. 

In  addition  to  the  great  variety  of  orna- 
mental objects,  they  have  a large  stock  of 
dinner,  lunch,  breakfast,  dessert,  and  tea  sets, 
from  the  lowest-priced  decorated  faience 
to  the  most  costly  porcelain,  including  the 
whole  range  of  pottery. 

Their  stock  of  Glass-ware  is  most  com- 
plete, and  includes  the  plainest  table-ware  as 
well  as  the  most  elaborately  engraved  and 
cut.
